So who better than Wheatley to programme that arthouse-cinema staple, a movie marathon, for the Guide? We tasked him with putting together a 12-hour, backside-numbing, brain-melting series on a single loose theme.

Though, says Ben, “I’d lead with the paranoid, sci-fi, noir angle rather than the limited resources. ‘Come to the limited-resources all-nighter’ doesn’t sound appealing!”
